HERE is a sobering thought – you could read the complete works of Dickens, Tolstoy and all three Bronte sisters in the time the average Brit wastes each year on sites such as Twitter.

You could also try out every position in the Kama Sutra in the 20 days, or 480 hours, spent gawping at social media. LYNSEY CLARKE shares ten better ways to spend your time . . .

There are so many better ways you could be spending your precious time

You could be spending your time exploring the Karma Sutra’s teachings

Spice things up

THERE are around 100 different sex positions in the Kama Sutra. You could zip through them in 20 days if you aim for a saucier version of your five-a-day.

Write on

IT took Anthony Burgess three weeks to write A Clockwork Orange and the same time for Arthur Conan Doyle to write A Study In Scarlet. So hop to it.

Get qualified

MOST A-levels involve 360 hours of guided learning, plus extra study time. You could be an expert on physics rather than on Kim Kardashian’s life.

On your bike

THOSE 480 hours are enough to do the Tour de France, the Giro d’Italia, Austria’s Glocknerman race and to ride across Canada. Lazy not to, really.

Climb every mountain

MOUNT Aconcagua in the Andes is the Southern Hemisphere’s highest peak. You would have time to climb it with three days left over to admire the view.

Brew up

BREWING your own beer will take two weeks for the fermentation, then you still have time for the process of bottle-conditioning – and for drinking.

Binge-read

YES, you really could get through all of Dickens, Tolstoy and every single Bronte there is. Alternatively, you could read every Shakespeare play four times.

Why read strangers’ rubbish jokes when you could be delving in to the classics?

Premier pundit

YOU could watch eight seasons’ worth of your Premier League team’s games in the time you may currently spend tweeting jokes about Jose Mourinho.

TV catch-up

IF you must gaze at a screen, you could watch all 456 episodes of the US drama Law And Order – or every single episode of Friends, twice over.
